I lived in Wallingford on Stone Way for four years and did not have a problem crossing the street with care. Too many people in Seattle demand the right of way crossing streets even when it is not safe to do so. I always lived in fear that someone would step out directly in front my car because they have the “right of way,” be it safe or not. How many mothers taught their children to look both ways before crossing the street?

Wallyhood is dedicated to fostering community and communication in the Wallingford neighborhood. A group of volunteer editors rotate the responsibility of managing the site, and we welcome stories from all our neighbors.

This week’s editor is ​Jack McLaughlin. You can contact the editor-of-the-week at [email protected].
